surface outsider is the most fun ski ive ever ridden, 109 underfoot, i think they changed it to 108 tho. 1mm difference lol

short underfoot camber puts all your weight into a small area, really digs into groomers. stupid dumbass rocker kills e v e r y t h i n g else and its stiff enough to really handle chunder. really surprised me with how much pop it has both flatbase and doing ollies.

on the pricey end tho. $650

Armada ARV series sounds like it would fit the bill

Moment Garbones is stiff enough to excel in pipe and park, but just wide enough to be great on deep days.

I should have clarified that it's definitely one which would be harder to get your hands on nowadays.

Wasn't the Garbone ~110 underfoot, stiff af, and directional? It'd be terrible for what OP is looking for.

What OP is looking for: 110 underfoot for pow, that will take a park run occasionally. Sounds like the Garbones to me.

But they're an extremely stiff big-mountain ski with a -10-ish mount, they're the opposite of something I'd use in the park.

Sorry but I'm trying to answer OP's question. Maybe someone from moment can confirm.

Anyway I'm on 196cm governors for pow etc, and the garbones are my all mtn quiver. Love em in the park, though park is more seldom for me.

Yeah...no. Sorry but the Garbones would not fit the bill here. Most people that are looking for a wider all mountain / occasional park lap ski are looking into twins with a rec mount of 2-5 cm back from center. The Garbones are awesome, but they're definitely for charging big mountain lines and, well, pretty much just charging big mountain lines.

Well that's my quiver...I guess I should just take pride in that and leave it.
